Uncle A’s Spicy Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter , softened

• 1 cup brown sugar , packed

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

• 2 1/3 cups flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 cups chocolate chips

• 1 1/2 tbsp Uncle A’s Sully’s Salsa

• 4 drops red food colouring

• 1 tsp flour

• Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, brown and white sugars, eggs and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Slowly beat in the 2 1/3 cups flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined and there are not more pockets of flour in the mixture. 


• Take one third of the dough and mix, in a separate bowl, with the sriracha and food colouring. Mix the remaining 1 tsp flour. Stir in 2/3 cup chocolate chips in with the red cookie dough.


• Stir in the remaining 1 1/3 cup of chocolate chips with the two thirds of plain cookie dough.


• Gently fold the cookie doughs together, being careful not to over-mix. There should be large marbled streaks of red dough in with the regular dough.


• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of cookie dough, 2 inches apart, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 


• Bake in a 375F oven for 9-11 minutes.


• Cool on a wire rack.
